---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.08.20 - patch PE82-1312040 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch enhances or fixes defects of the eloqdb server as released with Eloquence B.08.20. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.08.20 release. Eloquence B.08.20 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE82-1312040: BUG FIX Superseded patches: none Patch PE82-1312040 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed a lock starvation issue that could happen under a specific workload. This might cause eloqdb threads to be blocked for an undefined period waiting on the internal "vnode" lock. This should only affect large systems under high load. * Improved scalability of the internal "vnode" lock. The internal "vnode" lock could impact performance and CPU consumption under some workloads if the vnode lock is contended. * Fixed a B.08.10 interoperability problem that caused a status -700:-7 when opening a B.08.20 database using B.08.10.
